This review is from: Hawkeye - The Complete Series (DVD)
It is about time that they put this series onto dvd. It is well deserving that it is now finally available. I used to look forward to this series to air each week on one of my local tv channels btween 1993 and 1994 when it first aired. It is typical that a fun and clean family show like this went off the air so quickly. Some people claimed that series did not do so well in the ratings but that simply was not true. The series was very expensive to film. It was on location filming that was done in British Columbia. The weather was often very cold and stormy. There was also a lot of commuting back and forth for Lynda Carter. She flew home each weekend after weekly filming. Lynda has always been more concerned about her family than acting. So between the expense of catering to the cast and on location filming and harsh weather the producer wished to end the series by the following spring. Luckily, this is one series that produced a last episode that closed everything up. Everything was sewn up wonderfully and satisfying for the viewer who had seen the whole series. It was like when the Fugitive finally caught the "one arm bandit". I absolutely loved this show. I loved its production values and the entire cast. Even all the villians did a great job with their roles. I loved to hate Taylor Shields and I looked up to Hawkeye and marveled at the lady that Lynda Carter portrayed of which she really did not have to act. She was really playing her own self. She is most definately a lady and a lady to be admired not just in beauty but in grace.My only gripe with the dvd's are the fact that they made a nice case but the dvd's are inside paper sleeves. There are also no bonus materials on this. It is like they just rushed them through. I am happy though that they finally released this series. It is exciting and crisp and a clean adventure series for the whole family. 79 of 82 people found the following review helpful

Five stars for the show, three stars for the shoddy DVDs,

This review is from: Hawkeye - The Complete Series (DVD)
I loved this show and was sad when it disappeared. And I was elated to see it listed for a DVD release. Well, what a disappointment. Paper sleeves and no extras. I would happily have paid three times as much for commentary and better packaging.But the worst part of my set was that the final episode called The Return was not in fact the final episode. It was a repeat of the earlier episode with her father, played by James Cromwell. My set does not have the final episode, and thank goodness I saved my video tapes. Buyers beware: you may get ripped off like I did. I can only hope they fixed this error. 74 of 78 people found the following review helpful

An Excellent, Little-Remembered, Series,
By Gary P. Cohen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hawkeye - The Complete Series (DVD)
While known primarily for "Matt Houston," Lee Horsley also starred in 2 excellent, little-remembered, television series in the 1980s and "90s. The first, "Paradise," was a wonderful western that ran for 2 1/2 years on CBS starting in 1987. The second was this terrific syndicated series produced by the late Stephen J. Cannell, the legendary producer of "The Rockford Files," among others. This show premiered shortly after the release of the great adventure film "The Last of the Mohecans." (Footage from that film appears in the series' pilot.") Horsley plays frontiersman Hawkeye who lives in the wilderness with his indian friend Chingachkook in close proximity to a British fort in 1755, the period of the French and Indian War. Carter plays a lovely English woman who comes to the Fort with her older husband to open a general store. The husband is quickly captured by the indians but never declared dead. This causes the burgeoning romance between Horsley and Carter to never be consumated. Carter looks great and the dress designers of the series allow her to show ample cleavage.This series was filmed in Vancouver and has terrific scenery and lots of action. It was syndicated and shown at different times in different parts of the country. Unfortunately it only lasted one year. I've only watched the first 2 episodes (the 2 hour pilot,) and the picture and sound seem fine. Unfortunately there are no extras. (I would have loved a retrospective with Horsley and Carter. If you enjoy westerns or historical dramas, I highly recommend this excellent series. |
